wrangling
Back and forth bickering
Wrangling is prolonged, contentious argument or dispute: After months of wrangling, the parties reached a settlement.
The term suggests tedious back-and-forth rather than productive debate.
In a separate sense, wrangling refers to herding or managing livestock, especially horses—the work of a wrangler on a ranch or film set.
